A motorcyclist who slammed into the back of a stopped car on Interstate 10 before being run over by an SUV early Wednesday afternoon died of his injuries at a local hospital, police said.

The man has not been identified, pending notification of his family.

Officer Matthew Porter, spokesman for San Antonio police, the motorcyclist, driving west on I-10 between Vance Jackson and West Avenue about 3 p.m., hit the back of a Ford Escort stalled in the far right lane.

He was thrown from his bike, then struck by a Ford Escape. Witnesses told police the man appeared to be looking at his cell phone or another electronic device right before the crash.
